  1. 1Free on Their Turn

    It's Darius's turn. Last turn you hid Pakaa Cub (3 Might) face down at B, where your Stellacorn Herder (3) stands. You have no runes, but a hidden card costs nothing. When his Noxus Hopeful (4) attacks B, play the Cub from face down in the Showdown.

    Need a hint?

    Press Next until the Hopeful attacks B. When you get Focus, click the face-down card at B and play Pakaa Cub.

  2. 2Don't Wait for the Fight

    Darius's turn again. Pakaa Cub is face down at B, and your Stellacorn Herder (3) is your only unit there. He holds Hextech Ray (deal 3) and has a Faithful Manufactor (2). If the Ray kills your Herder, B is empty, no longer yours, and the Cub is lost with it. Answer the Ray while it waits on the Chain.

    Need a hint?

    When Hextech Ray goes on the Chain at your Herder, play Pakaa Cub from face down right then. Don't wait for the attack.
